This project, as always, is first and foremost a UCI ITE Student Chapter activity. Your participation should be considered primarily an activity of the student chapter. In recent years, some project participants have received academic credit for project work done ABOVE and BEYOND that expected as part of chapter activities. If you would like to receive academic credit for the project, there are two options:

1. E 189 ITE Project
   Between 1 and 4 units are taken in during fall (1), winter (2), and spring (1) quarters. A letter grade will be assigned in Spring quarter for the sequence. This option can be petitioned to count as a course requirement for the CEE Transportation Systems Specialization.
   
   
2. CEE 199 Individual Study
   Between 1 and 4 units TOTAL may be taken during the project with the faculty advisor. This option requires that specific individual tasks be identified and that a separate CEE 199 report be submitted for a grade.

Consider the 4 units of 189 the same as 4 units of a standard course. This typically implies 3-6 contact hours per week (lectures and labs) plus an average of the same 3-6 hours per week outside of class (HWs, studying, reports). As with any class, these hours will vary over individual students and over the weeks of the quarter. In a typical year, the ITE project will require:

1. a 1-hour mandatory weekly project team meeting
2. work sessions totally 2-5 hours per week (this will vary depending on the task at hand, and may involve individual, subgroup, or full group meetings). Developing of the project report and presentation will entail addition time commitments outside of team meetings.
3. continual e-mail contact -- you will need to check and reply to project related e-mails on a regular basis.

If you volunteer to participate (and do not receive academic credit), then you are free to pick your level of commitment (although we ask that you stick to your commitment). If you choose to receive academic credit, then you must be prepared to work ABOVE and BEYOND the normal club commitment at a level equal to the number of units for which you register.
